I'm tempted to try something like this, since it has such a small footprint and can handle a pretty serious volume of material. Something like this looks like it would cost under $20, not bad for an item that handles a heck of lot more than the Worm Factory for a fraction of the price...

Although my experience is that worms can be incredibly hardy, there’s no reason to miss a beat over the winter. The two key factors are shelter and heat. Last winter I chose had to replace my compost bins cause they were rotten. They were oak pallets and they had lasted about seven years. I took the old pallets…
